Are you familiar with the concept of mindfulness? It means being aware, moment-by-moment, of your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, through a gentle, nurturing lens. Nowadays, it's in short supply. Some say it's a superpower._x000D_

How mindful would you say you are? In general as well as on a day-to-day and even hourly basis? But wait, let’s backtrack a bit. What do you think about mindfulness in the first place? How well do you understand the concept itself and the practice it preaches? Are there parts of it you're missing? And if you do understand it well, do you agree that it is as imperative as the larger consensus would have us think?_x000D_

From ancient practices and philosophy to various forms of religion and spirituality, and more recently, to many sciences (including psychology, psychotherapy and neuroscience), mindfulness has become so much more than a buzzword. For those who practice it, it's become a life-changer. Why is it even called “mind-full-ness”? What is our mind supposed to be full of exactly? Let’s listen to some different ways of understanding mindfulness and decide if we may want more or less of it for ourselves in our daily lives. Ella can’t wait to discuss this with you and hear your take on this one. Let's have an intelligent, meaningful, and potentially transformative conversation!_x000D_

你觉得自己有多么践行正念?无论是总体上,还是在日常生活和每小时的时间里?不过,先别急,我们先回到最初的问题。你对正念的看法是什么?你对正念的概念和它所倡导的实践了解多少?有没有哪些方面你觉得自己还不了解?如果你对它了解较多,你是否同意正念的重要性如同大众共识所认为的那样?_x000D_
